This site has generated some interest amongst the gyro guys. I hope it doesn't go south like so many others have.
The idea of a charge-cooled rotor is pretty sweet.
It'd be freakin awesome to put one of the smaller ones in a go-kart or a Dominator Autogyro.
Any other cool ideas?

I just posted this here because I thought you guys would get a kick out of the design differences.
The charge cooled rotors and the oil metering for the rotor bearings/side-seals/apex-seals are pretty cool.

It didn't, because they haven't.
For someone whos used to aircraft engines, thats "kinda expensive" for that power range, but SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than any Certified engine.
You can build a NEW Mazda Rotary for less

Bit heavier, though.
People have used 12A's and 13B's with good results in fixed-wings, but all the Mazda designs are too heavy to get good performance out of a gyro or any really lightweight aircraft.
